Hey, kids! Did you enjoy today’s video?
My goal while producing this video was to make it as spontaneous as possible. I did not really plan much, and did not write any script for it. I did not want to put too much focus on their sexuality. I wanted it to be more like ‘grandma OK meets this two people who are in love’. I don’t know, did it work? ;)
As you might be aware, grandma OK is a ‘relatively accepting’ Korean elder toward LGBTQ+ community. She isn’t very educated on the topic, but she values one’s right to love and to pursue happiness. Unfortunately, not all Koreans are like her. There are lots of ignorance and hatred in the air toward the community. But I do believe that we are slowly moving toward a better place. And I hope this video will add a little force to that movement, however tiny it is.
Lastly, I would like to thank the two lovely guys in the video for happily accepting my invitation. Thank you, Cheolsoo and Jangho. I tagged their TH-cam channel in the description box. Please check them out! They have awesome content there. 감사합니다! 철수님, 장호님 :)
Anyways, I am super excited to finally present to you this new series ‘Korean Grandma Meets’ on our channel. I hope you will have lots of fun watching my grandma meeting new people and experiencing new things.
Thank you all! Love you so much! And happy pride🌈
This was phenomenal Zoey! Just brilliant and beautiful!💜💜🔥👌✨
I love it. Can't wait for pt. 2 of this episode and the rest of the series. It's a great idea Zoey.
I hope it helps spread positivity, acceptance, and education on certain social subjects. I'm sure many people can relate to Grandma OK and have the same questions she might have. Maybe, they might be persuaded to share her supportive view points on some matters too 💛
I loved everything about this episode and can't wait to see the new series ❤️💛💚💙💜
1st I love your channel and Grandma Ok ..
.2nd Yayyyy. She has her own series now? I can't wait to see the next video.
3rd Please keep on doing the food video with her. Those are my fave tooo. Love from 🇺🇸
Hi Zoey. In the future would it be possible to bring focus to how the South Korean government hasn't bothered to legalise gay marriage or adoption?
"she worried that she might be unintentionally rude or make ignorance comments" I hope people keep that in mind, she from older generation but trying her best to understanding unfamiliarity.
Agreed~~
But also as long as she was trying to be open-minded and listen (which she was!), that's all that matters~ We love you Grandma OK! And thank you to the team for posting a video like this. Hopefully, this opens up the minds of a lot of other people watching this who were possibly not as accepting of LGBTQ+ people previously!
Yeah, and then she gets to 'so which one of you is the woman?'
@@joeseeking3572 I mean is she wrong though? One of them has to be submissive, a trait we usually associate with femininity.
@@afrinsayed5902 No one has to be submissive, even in a straight relationship. That's pretty toxic - the fact that one of them has to be "the leader" and the other has to satisfy them. You should be feeling good with your partner, not having hierarchies.
@@afrinsayed5902 that's heteronormativity, which means basically all relationship has to be a man and a woman which is wrong(not that wrong but it's very problematic, please avoid having that mentality) in this era/times.
“I am worried that I might be unintentionally rude to them because of my ignorance” 🥺
she's so sweet :((
We need more people like this. Open minded, willing to learn and kind.
Literally me though.. lol
"Who's the woman?" Lol
@@-.-Mochi-.- but, like, it’s really great you are aware of that, you know? So if you are in a situation with someone who is of the LGBTQ+ community you can seriously just say that you are ignorant on the subject and please correct me kindly if I unintentionally say something wrong so that I know better next time. As someone who is part of the community I literally don’t know anybody who would look upon that comment with anything but fondness for your ability to self critique and your willingness to learn 💜💜

6:29 This is like grandma giving them her blessings like she's their real grandsons. It's so heartwarming.
“Size of house doesn’t matter too much when you’re in love. Even in the smallest and shabbiest place, a love can grow the biggest.”
Not gonna lie, that made me sob. What a beautiful way to see the world and look at love.
yeah damn, that was poetic. that really took me by surprise
This shows that age is not an excuse to be phobic
It does
@@spyYoOnJIiN theres nothing to excuse yourself from being one
@@spyYoOnJIiN nothings an excuse to be homophobic +_+
@@spyYoOnJIiN There's no excuse to be against basic human rights.
@@oblive4623 ofc its not okay to go out of ur way and bash LGBT community like calling them names of attacking them or causing any harmb I didn't mean that any person has an excuse to do any of these
But if for example I ask a person what he thinks of LGBT and then that person said that he doesn't believe in such thing exist or he just doesn't buy it ofc u guys call them homophobics
Some people may get angry that she asked who's the "woman" but if you don't ask, you won't learn that that idea is just a stereotype. I'm happy she isn't afraid to ask the awkward questions.
TRUE. That kind of question is important. It might sound offensive/dumb. But it is important to answering. If we stop answering people will not understand and start making their own opinion. And it's extreamly dangerous.
This reminds me of my own grandmother. She is a lovely lady. I am gay and my grandmother once asked me the same question but not because of ignorance but because she truly and literally had no clue (LGBTQ+ was a taboo in her time growing up). So, she tried to connect the dots and make sense of what she already knows (male//female in relationships). She asked because she wanted to UNDERSTAND me :) and she does!
Also considering her generation didn't have the vernacular regarding LGBT that we do today. Those things just weren't talked about or also didn't even have terminology. Navigating queer relationships is hard enough for the people in it---can't imagine being that old and trying to express your interest/feelings in this hyper-aware time.
My asian grandma was the same 👵🏼
Making mistakes is often how you educate yourself. People tend to forget that.
she is so caring :( the fact that she mentioned that she might get rude due to her ignorance makes me feel so assured that she supports us so much and she has no intention on hurting not just them but us LGBTQ viewers too
everyone: talking about how cute they are
me: thinking about the soldier and sergeant
Same, could've been a cute love story or a tragic one. Really hope for the former but keeping in mind of those times it's really less likely ig.
Omg imagine those two are watching this video together rn
(-sobs quietly 🥺)
@@whodis5503 ugh now i will never stop thinking of it🙄😫

XD
She's from the older generation but living ahead of literally every generation, when she said "I honestly don't care if they get married or not, have a child or not as long as they're living a worthy life" I decided that's how I wanna be in my life ❤️
True.. She is best, how I wish many parents are like her

So u decided to be gay?

Yessss❤❤❤
I love their story just because they are still together and surviving these nasty close minded people. I am in my 50s and have been married to my husband for 37 years and neither of us have issues with homosexuality. Love is love! My prayer for them is they stay far away from negative people and their families completely accept and support them.
They broke up
@@reaganthomas4724 헉!~
@@reaganthomas4724 what?? Really?
@@reaganthomas4724 yeah so sad :(
Im in love with My Barbie Doll what should i do?
“What matters to me is that two people are in love” that’s so powerful and beautiful of her to say. That’s really all that should matter and I’m so happy that they were able to have this conversation and get to know each other. I’m sure that the gay couple were relieved to have been so accepted.
It's just very sad that the country of South Korea doesn't bother to honour their love by legalising gay marriage and adoption.
HI FRIENDSHIPS 🍼🐷🇯🇵
Was truly heart warming
@@caimaccoinnich9594 Yeah same here in the Philippines :( I hope it'll get better for every country soon bc I want to marry a woman :(
Man, I started crying during that part. What an angel of a woman.
“Love is the most important. It doesn’t matter if you like men or women” this lady, people, is an example to follow.
yes you are right i am gay and so are my all sisters 😂 so i can easily be opened about them and they will also help

@@juliomaciel7647 damn that was a good response.
I was really homophobic at my teens year but that's until I recently meet gay ppl irl. They are nice ppl and I hate my myself for always have misconception about them. One thing I learn is that we know as we grow older. I hope anyone that homophobic grow out of it, we're all human beings that try to love!
i have classmates who are homophobic and racist. i also hope that they grow out of it and learn from their mistakes. thank you!!
@@maretwoo they gonna grow out of it I promise but if they apologoize for being homophobic n racist to you for example, only u can accept the apology. Not him or anyone else.
Yeah, i hope homophobes stop and realize what thier doing is wrong, and that they will learn to have at least a bit more respect and not discriminate us.
I was a curious kid and I did say a lot of things that must have hurt people because of their skin color and gender (because I was influenced by a lot of adults who discriminate others who are different) I came out as Aegosexual (it is part of the ace spectrum) and got more open minded about these topics because of the Internet.
Thank you for giving yourself the opportunity to grow. It can be difficult, but so worth it
for me, it's may not about my sexuality but i was born a muslim. and my parents are muslims. we live in an islamic country. it's illegal to be an athiest or agnostic here. i came out to my mom and thankfully she accepted me for who i am. i am very thankful to have her as my best friend. i lost her in June this year. i love her so much but it's hard not to be able to feel her presence with me anymore. i love people with open minded. i myself am, i believe people should be able to live the life that they want. life is short and we deserve to live a happy life for ourselves.
Im sending you lots of love, your mom sounds like an amazing person❤🥰
Your mom is surely proud of you❤ I hope you find love one day, you and all the Muslims who can’t come out
I'm so sorry for your loss honey, I'm part of the LGBTQ community, I'm a lesbian, my mom is my biggest supporter too, my best wishes for you
@@straychicken8596 read the coran with no premade ideas, Allah (bless his name) made all His creations perfect, if He didn't want homosexuality He wouldn't have made them, you are allowed to be in love with who you heart chose to love. It doesn't mean you're taking "the dark path". Love is the purest form humans can feel and is the way to live in peace. I know you don't have bad intentions with your comment but it can be really hurtful to people to see it while they are fighting their own feelings.
@@straychicken8596 we do not have the same way to read the texts and it's your faith, i can't agree with all of what you said but i won't judge you either. But in the end we should just want everyone to live in peace with themself and with the world . Good day to you too
"Do you fight?"
"Yes."
"That's no good."

She is so wholesome! I really appreciate that they shared their experience, it sounds like they both went through really difficult things because of their sexuality, my heart goes out to them
she approves of two strangers having sex. wow. lol . maybe we should find out if our pets are gay too.

@@user-ie5tg5fs3m i mean yeah i agree but the point of the video was to be heartwarming

Old generation don’t accept homosexual that easily but this granny was so open minded. I like how they had convo. Very maturely without opposing💜
Becos it's not her kids or her grand kids. MOst ppl can accept homosexual as long as it not their family members. This is Asian for u.
@@mikegan9382 yes
Trust me, that's not "just Asian for you." That's also a lot of Americans, Eastern Europe, etc.
@@patriciatomilonus7384 even my family are one of them.
@@mikegan9382 you should watch their videos grandma is very open minded
"with my ignorance" I love how she acknowledges that it's a matter of ignorance if gay couples are still a kind of "taboo", this woman is really sweet and good mannered
I am just on my first minute and I am already tearing up because I am so moved by Grandma's humbleness and humility. For an elderly to be so tactful and considerate of younger people, especially ones from the LGBTQ+, to which most of Korean society still disapproves of, is just so precious and meaningful. Thank you, Grandma. ♥️
"Which one of you is the woman?" PLSSSSS THEY LOOKED SO UNCOMFORTABLE BUT SHE WAS TRYING HER BEST 😭😭
I mean at least she then said "or do you not have these roles" lol xD
I know! I immediately gasped and said grandma! It was all for helping her to understand though because she then proceeds to ask if they even have those roles. Knowledge is power and I appreciate her bluntness even if it’s taboo. She so sweet. ♥️
As she said at the start of the video, I'm pretty sure she didn't mean to offend them or anything lolol
at least she immediately followed it up with “or do you not follow those roles?” but it’s a common question for people to ask. the best way I’ve found to explain it to people is chopsticks: you can use a fork and knife, or you can use chopsticks, but you’d never ask someone which chopstick is the fork, and which is the knife! it’s two of the same, working in harmony, but performing the same service as a fork and knife.
@@tais1355 That's a brilliant analogy! I've been looking for a proper way to explain this for years and I think I just found it! ❤👏🏽
She’s so sweet to worry about offending them!

BILLIE PIPER - DAY AND NIGHT
Okay, i'm crying...
How long in our lives have we waited to hear something like this.... It's so much nastiness, so much evil that it's almost impossible to believe that we will hear things like this.
I won't, not anymore, but knowing that other people can still hear and that there are people like her in the world gives me some relief for those who will follow this difficult path.
Hard to write with watering eyes.
I started bawling when she said that the size of your house doesn’t matter when you’re in love, and that love can grow to be its biggest in even the smallest and shabbiest of places.
So powerful, especially when you can see how much of a love for people she has in general.
I wish we could have more people like this. Sweet, understanding, wise, and caring...
And this is really heart warming. Seeing how she treats them as her grandchildren is just sooo cute.
"you never know a gay person is right infront of you" ahhaha when you're that gay friend in your group💀✋🏾
It's nice when people can turn their "-dars" off and just coexist without needing to sexualize everything. Like, if you're friends, just be friends. If you're coworkers, just be coworkers. If someone is comfortable bringing it up fine, but, if not, don't put them on the spot (just change the subject). Treat everyone equally, with respect as fellow humans.
@@PongoXBongo i get it but my homophobic friends talk sht abt homosexuality all the time and as a closested bisexual who love these people to death it's kinda suffocating to tolerate that everyday. i was just making a light hearted joke-
@@DaughterOfFiji Ah, sorry for missing the joke.
Aww, that sucks! 🥺 I hope you can find other people you can be open with!💜 (Not saying that you should just ditch your friends, but at least find someone who accepts you for who you are.)
I'm that friend but bi, this April fools I "jokingly came out" to my friends to see their reactions, surprisingly some of them are accepting and one of my friend were like "I been know since the start lol" and I think that's because I am really careful of to who I befriend with, so I'm lucky I have some accepting friends.
Much love and support for fellow lgbtq+ people out there ❤️❤️❤️
"which one of you is the women?" I usually get mad whenever this hapens but this is a different story. She's understanding and ready to learn more about a subject she's not familiar with.I love her and respect so much!!
as you should, thats what the program is all about
She also asked, "or do you not have those roles?" Right after, which means she wants to really learn and is asking about something she has no idea about. And considering she's got very little knowledge on the LGBT community I don't think it's meant in a bad way.
@@bluchismoon yeah that's what I meant also. I really respect her.
@@bluchismoon love her for that 😍
That feels more offensive for women. I love this grandma tho but often bl dramas portrays the bottom guy as the wife.
Doesn’t matter who you love, women or man, Love is love, love always win 🎉
Happy for you two 🌈 🎉
I just love this Grandma. She is so down to earth and I wish all grandma’s were like her.
Grandma okay waves: "Hi Kids!!"
Me a 40 yo woman: "Hi Grandma!!!" 😁
well she's still double your age lol
Grandma is always grabdma Idc what nobody say 🥰😆
@@getgot3461 indeed... Just laughing about the "kids" part 😆
Call her mom
Ur still a kid
I enjoyed the video~~
Thank you for coming into this channel!! So informative and I'm looking forward to the next episode with you two and grandma OK. Much love to you both!! Stay strong... Sooner or later, Korea will become more accepting!!
Love both of you 🥰
Hope you come to love Grandma as much as we do. Thanks for sharing your experience. I have a friend outside the US who told me she suspected one of her sons was gay. (I had met him.)
I basically said, "are you going to love him any less?" He came out to his family when he met someone serious. She's okay, his brothers are okay, it's his father who isn't. He's still not out at work or with most of his family. And it makes me sad that he's in love, but can't be excited and thrilled about it. I've had lots of gay friends throughout my life, but going out for a drink on New Year's a couple of years ago, I realized for the first time how hard it can be on other countries.
❤
💙
i love how real and honest she was when she started by saying that she was worried that she’d unintentionally offend them with her ignorance, she rlly cares and doesn’t want to hurt anyone
Ah... this hits deep at home. I'm bisexual and came out to my mom. Being an Indian, I expected disappointment or crazy shouting that would hurt since I'm really close to my mom. But I was surprised that she accepted me, more since she grew up in a conservative family and higher educations and stuffs weren't available to her at that time. Before that I already came out to my little sister who was like 10 or 11. Both weren't familiar with LGBTQ+ yet they accepted me. Now I was particularly scared of coming out to my father. Although everyone thought that traveling would broaden his perspectives, irl he was conservative and traditional on the inside. My mother accidentally revealed my sexuality and I was scared. My father didn't scream or protest against it but certainly looked a bit disappointed. He knows about LGBTQ+ and never says bad about them although he also doesn't support them. None of my other relatives know or they all would pressurize my father to disown me and I'm thankful my father atleast accepted me.
Wish I had her as my granny! She is so sweet and respects everyone’s religion,race, and sexuality😊
HI FRIENDSHIP 🍼🐷🇯🇵
I didnt get to know my grandmas well. One passed when I was 1 and the other 7. I would love Grandma OK as my own.
My dad will never be this open minded and accepting. I'm not gay but he's the typical homophobic boomer. Like, he strongly condemns gay people because the Catholic church opposes it. But you know, even Pope Francis isn't too dismissive about it so I don't really get my dad. Whatever happens to these gay people has zero effects on what and how we live life.
Kindness and compassion is free yet, we're so tight-fisted to give it.
You spoke facts sis
My entire fam is Catholic, being born into the congregation makes our generation really question our own beliefs. I got a gay best friend n i dont care what they do. I based my belief on personal experiences. After all, the bible were written under the observation and experiences of the writers. The question you should be asking is, do u believe based on the documents of historical evidence/experience of other pple or do u believe deep down based on ur beliefs of experience?
This isnt to offend anyone.
I just believe in kindness, caring and consideration.
I respect all religions, sexes and other peoples way of life. It dont matter, intentions and motives does.
THIS!!
I’m Buddhism but in our country you cant come out as gay as it’s considered a crime and you can go to jail for over 10 years. I didnt know gay rights was a thing and offended my Bi friend 4 years ago, I feel really bad for her now.
It's a common misconception that religion makes people homophobic. The truth is that people make religion homophobic.
Just as Pope Francis, the Vicar of Christ according to Catholic belief, has preached compassion, tolerance, and love towards queer people, multiple presidents of the LDS (Mormon) Church, who are Prophets of the Lord according to Mormon belief, have preached the same. But while both of these and many other Christian churches may ultimately condemn homosexuality for doctrinal reasons, they also preach Christ's message of love and kindness to others, and in recent times their leaders have taken especial care to clarify that this includes queer people. Yet in both churches, there are many who blatantly ignore the teachings of their "divinely inspired" leaders in order to defy Christ's teaching of unconditional love and perpetuate the hatred that lies in their own hearts, not in the religions that they claim to follow.
Even today, there are parents who will ostracise their queer children and even throw them out into the street in the name of righteousness, despite their religious leaders expressly exhorting them not to. It might be challenging for queer people to accept, given the many injustices they have experienced in association with religious institutions, but at this point the reality should be clear that it's not religions who hate and persecute them, but rather the ignorant and bigoted people who congregate within them, and who may often rise to positions of prominence where they can pervert the religion and make their hatred appear institutional when in fact it's merely personal or, at worst, communal. And while it might be comforting for some to villainise and anathematise religion for all the hurt that people have caused in its name, it isn't fair to all the people without hatred who take comfort and solace in religion for the spiritual guidance it provides them.
The only crime of religion itself is in attempting to provide answers and spiritual guidance that is attractive to people regardless of whether they have love or hatred in their hearts. For despite what people might be accustomed to believing, there is nothing inherent about religion that attracts the worst of humanity, which should be apparent given that the literal worst of humanity-the Nazis-where decidedly hostile to religion. The only element of religion that could genuinely be blamed for enticing the worst people into its ranks is the promise of power within an institutionalised structure, which is a facet of institutions in general rather than anything uniquely religious. Those who hate others will naturally seek a vehicle with which to express and perpetuate their hate, and will happily exploit a religious, political, or any other institution in order to do so. The problem isn't religion, the problem is hate, and you can find it virtually anywhere that you stop to look.
Grandma is adorable. She is so open minded. I was very surprised by it. The couple interacted with her really well and were very respectful. All in all it was a great interview to watch.
When I heard her talking about love, I shed some tears, thinking about the life I have to hide from society. She is such a beautiful and humble lady, she deserves the best in this world.
I’m sorry you have to hide yourself from the world. You deserve the best things too. ❤️
My dad's pretty open minded for being an Indian who's raised pretty conservatively. In India especially there's this show which makes fun of lgbtq community indirectly. They think it's funny but when my dad saw us watching that show he got so mad and educated about it like how it's not good to watch that show and you shouldn't make fun of them and stuff. At that time I didn't think much but when in school I saw people making fun of gays like teasing some guys saying they're gay and stuff cuz the guy was wearing pink and one of the teacher even encouraged it. I told it to my dad and he came to school and complained about it. The teachers really didn't care about it much but I learnt what's right and wrong from pretty young age I am thankful for my dad for raising me good. I later got to know he has a friend who's gay and everyone made fun of him when he told about it but my dad didn't and he's still friends with him.
You are lucky...🙌🙌
That’s so nice of your dad
Bless his soul, what a kind person he is
Which show is it?
Most indians judge people so easily but you are lucky to get so supportive minded parent ❤
"The moment that judgement stops through acceptance of what it is, you are free of the mind. You have made room for love, for joy, for peace"
people rarely judge others for their orientations nowadays people judge the promiscuous behaviour associated with being gay that the tv just love to encourage and promote. the media is whats causing all the hate
What a great video - thank you much for making it and sharing it with the world! I'm a 68-year-old gay guy in Texas. It was tough growing up, but my friends all remained with me when I came out - in our 30s - and I am supremely happy about that! I met a great guy 31 years ago, and we have lived together happily ever since. He is very patient with me and puts up with my occasional silliness. We were married (in Canada in 2004, and in the USA, too, since 2015). My family loves my husband, and I am thankful for their support of us! I am so blessed that I can't adequately describe it. I arrived at this video because of my love of BTS and its superb members, who have given the world many useful and compassionate messages, including their support of the LGBTQI community and underdog communities "Not Today" worldwide. I first found BTS in 2014 and have since read quite a bit about Korean culture, which I have thus far found generous and kind. It is a much more cohesive culture than America's. Thanks again for making this video! Borahae!💜
No matter gay, straight or bi, lesbian, transgender life. I’m on the right track, baby, I was born to survive.
👏👏👏👏
Born this wayyyy
When the first thing she said was she was afraid to hurt the. qith her ignorance I *literally * started crying, you are amazing and loving and so wonderful grandma ok❤❤❤❤
This is a better crossover than Avengers: Endgame
lmao
Nah
I just wish they'd spoken about how the country of South Korea doesn't bother to honour their love by legalising gay marriage and adoption. We need to push for LGBTQ liberation in South Korea.
Hell yeah
@@caimaccoinnich9594 There's a part 2 coming out also so maybe they'll address more serious/deeper questions.
the way she's so warm and loving and thoughtful makes me want to cry :")

Thank you for this words😊
I realy want to hug her. She's so charming and calming.
Same. I love everything about her. She is just an all around fantastic lady.
i would love to see grandma ok maybe interact with a lesbian couple because the dynamics of a relationship between two men may be different from two women and it would be nice for her to see the spectrum of being gay.
Yes!!!!! I hope it happens
Ooo same!
My girlfriend and I are a Korean-American gay couple so I guess we should volunteer for that.
@@djsaintmusic7819 yes oh my god you should 🥺 Gay couples are being more opened up to Koreans than lesbian couples . They should be acknowledged too
@@djsaintmusic7819
PLEASE DO!!! ( if both you and your Girlfriend are comfortable doing it)
I was so worried when I clicked on this video, but grandma ok really surprised me. she seems very open and willing to learn, which is quite rare in older generations. I hope all three of them live great lives and continue to spread love and acceptance to others🥰🥰

The fact that the couple looked up to grandma as if imagining coming out to their own grandma and then the Grandma being so accepting made me tear up a little. Hope the couple gets courage to come out to their grandma.
“Which one of you is the woman”
she’s a little confused but she got the spirit😅
@Me Ry if we don't ask, we never learn :) And Grandma OK is all about learning. Love your comment:)
@Me Ry tbh I don't think it was anything to be offended about. A lot of gay relationships have someone that is more feminine or masculine than the other, and there are often tops and bottoms. She did acknowledge IF they had those roles, too. (People can switch roles obviously). As a gay person myself, I would just say try not to get offended by little things, especially when it's someone who's not trying to be offensive. I would go so far as to consider myself as the "woman" of a relationship with the person I'm talking to.
@@calypso7636 I think the real problem is heteronormativity. referring to someone as the “woman or man” of the relationship is very weird. I didn’t take offense to what she said (I’m lesbian) since there weren’t any bad intentions + she’s just older and curious, but we as a community should really break down the whole “there has to be someone to take both roles” stereotype in the community.
@@calypso7636 I know she meant well, but since it's a relationship consisting of two men, it's just illogical to ask who's the woman. And if she wanted to know who's more submissive, that's a pretty personal question. Besides, even in heterosexual relationships, men can be the more generally submissive ones, so that doesn't mean much either.
@@nealg5475 no its not illogical is more of curiousity like what you mentioned. For people that do not have any LGBTQ friends, is a pretty normal question that they are curious about.

She's a little confused, but she's got the spirit lmaooo
"People don't realise that they might have a gay friend right next to them" 11:43
Them sharing how their friends ghosted them was really heart breaking as you can see it in their faces (the sadness in their eyes)and their body language (facing downwards) when talking about it. YES they did laugh BUT you can see the hurt in their eyes and their partners eyes when thinking about it.
It's heartwarming to see an older lady accept something that her generation wouldn't necessarily accept
She's too precious for this world! I wish people were more like her...
I’m only 6 minutes in and I’ve been tearing up from the start. Grandma OK is so sweet, the fact that she’s concerned that she might say something wrong is understandable but it shows how kind of a person she is. Thank you so much for this video.
I’m part of the LGBTQ+ community, and my grandma is 86. I haven’t told her (I’m only 21) but with every day I think about the fact that I’ll never know when will be my last chance.
Grandma OK reminds me a LOT of my grandma, in the way she says how handsome they are and would look younger if he lost the beard, but especially in the way that she tapped the hands of the second guy when commenting on his skin. My grandma is now legally blind and has been partially sighted my whole life, so she feels a lot with her hands, especially as she gets older and her arthritis and cancer gets worse.
I miss my grandma a lot, I spoke to her just yesterday and we talked about grief and missing people. I have a recording of a conversation I had with her, about her childhood growing up (in England) at the end of world war 2, and rationing etc. Even though I may not be able to listen to that recording for a long time in years to come, I take comfort in the fact that I have it, I have the option to listen to it, and so I’ll never forget her voice.
Even though Grandma OK is Korean and my grandma is British, they are so similar, even the softness of their voices when they speak such different languages.
I’m sorry that this seemed sad and morbid, it’s just the thought of family and acceptance that got me thinking.
Cherish your family and your loved ones everyone, because they love you so much 💜
Are you thinking about discussing it with her the next time you see her in person? Sometimes people surprise you
Just remember to not rush it. Telling someone for the sake of telling them isn’t necessarily the right answer. You need to feel confident that the time is right. This will of course change depending on the person. So just be sure you’re ready when the time comes, and prepare for whatever outcome may happen if you’re unsure. And remember you got this! ❤️
HI FRIENDSHIPS 🍼🐷🇯🇵
I’m sorry to focus on such a small part of your great comment, but I want to emphasize something to you. Please save that recording, however you can. It will be a great source of comfort one day. My mom passed sort of unexpectedly (her health was already bad so it wasn’t a complete shock, but still) in 2014 and I saved every voicemail I had. I don’t listen to them often but there’s a small bit of peace in my heart knowing I can still hear her voice whenever I miss her.
I hope this isn’t too sad, I’m not wanting to be like that. Just wanting to say that recording is priceless , don’t get rid of it. ❤️
I’m crying so hard right now. I love you grandma. Ty for showing us love from across the world 😭😭♥️
The fact that she was worried she could be unintentionally rude was just so wholesome
i like how in the thumbnail she looks all dismissive and not okay (see what i did there?) but in reality she's this beam of light
yes she ended up being OK hahaha
@@JakesterJung lmao
Grandma OK is such a beautiful and sweet woman. Her kind soul makes everyone feel so happy and relaxed. I had a smile on my face the entire time. She's such a blessing and if I could I would thank her for her respect of others race, orientation and just being her amazing self!❤️
이런 영상의 취지가 참 좋은것 같아요…아무리 세상이 좋아져도 어떤 사람들은 분명 안좋게 보고 자기 마음대로 말하는 사람도 있을텐데 그렇게 나쁜 사람들에게 상처받은 분들이 이 영상으로나마 위로를 받았으면 좋겠어요…그것도 다른 분도 아니고 할머니가 좋은 말씀을 많이 해주시니까요.. 연세가 좀 있으신 분들께도 이 영상이 전해진다면 그 분들이 혹여나 비슷한 사람과 만나게 되더라도 전보단 더 이해하실 수 있으실것 같아요 이런 영상 너무 좋습니다!
I love her, her awareness before beginning already shows she's gonna be amazing
"I'm worried I might be unintentionally rude to them with my ignorance" made me start crying immediately. Thank you Grandma OK for being so caring towards our community even if you don't know everything about us. I wish more people could be so accepting of other humans so easily.
"So..... Which one of you is the 'woman'?" is a 10/10 cliffhanger.

"I am afraid I might be unintentionally rude to them because of my ignorance."
I always point to this thing, that most of the time (if not ALL the time), rudeness and HATE come from a place of ignorance. So wise of this grandma to acknowledge that rudeness stems from ignorance.
It’s true...she really doesn’t look 81 she looks like she should be closer to her mid 60s 🤷♀️

She isn't actually 81, in Korea, we consider an infant one year old and one year more during Chuseok (Korean New Year) so she's around 79. But yeah she does look young if you look from foreign look. I'm 13 internationally but 15 in Korea (:
@@nhighpain6310 lol this gets me confused every time because every Korean explains it differently, seems like I can never get it right understood 😂😭 sorry
@@star98s It's okay no 😂✨
They broke up a year ago :( It's so sad but I wish them both the best.
Seeing stuff like this makes me really happy. I'm LGBTQ and South Asian but seeing the attitude about gay people become more and more positive in Korea and across Asia gives me hope that people can begin to live happier lives.
Grandma is a gem. I love how when he said his grandmother is 88 she asked if she is well. Grandma is a trailblazer and a wonderful human. I love her heart so much.
Grandma was so pretty, she's such a lovely and accepting woman. Hope she can stay with us until 100th or more 😁😍
Omg, I love this grandma so much!! She is so charm and adorable, willing to learn. Is endearing.
I like the way there's a lot of visibility being bought to the LGBTQ communities in Asia at the moment, it seems that most young people support gay rights and gay marriage so I think it's only a matter of time until Japan and South Korea legalize gay marriage 😍
Japan is currently in a weird place where people are more or less accepting, but they can't legalize same sex marriages because "but constitution, we can't change it" excuse from goverment (there marriage is stated as unite between man and woman specifically).
As a playaround around that, some perfectures (I think quite a handful of them at this point, but I need to check) implemented partnership system that is accesible to same sex couples, and gives practically same rights as marriage, with the main difference being that it won't be effective in a perfecture where the system isn't implemented yet (unlike marriage).
@@sakinoru4557 we did that in New Zealand too. It was called a civil union but we continued to push until it was legalized. Constitutions came be changed, politicians do it all the time when it suits them and sooner or later it will suit them ❤
@@angie23575 yeah, I hope at some point the change will come to Japan and South Korea as well. :) Still warming that there are little changes already.
" Size of the house doesn't matter too much when you're in LOVE, even in the smallest and shabbiest place, a Love can grow the biggest."
She gave the phrase “They’re from a different time” a whole new meaning, you change if you want to.
My grandpa is 88 and I cant explain ace to him or my dad my dad keeps doing the animal definitions of ace having been in the medical field my Opa is from the 40s sooo yea XD
The only thing that this applies to is ignorance, if they haebeen taugh what is wrong there are no excuses
"I am worried that I might be unintentionally rude to them with my ignorance"
It's been 30 secondes and I'm already crying
I'm really happy to see this. When I lived in Korea there were a couple of times when I literally heard people say there was no homosexuality in Korea. I know they said they haven't come out to some of their family and I get that they are still worried about hatred but I'm glad to see the grandmother be so accepting of them and I hope that being gay in Korea becomes more accepted all around.
"I am worried that I might be unintentionally rude to them with my ignorance."
Not a minute in and I can already tell that everything is going to go alright. ❤

This video needs to be seen by everyone... this is how you learn about other humans... OK Grandma grew up in a completely different world than the one I am in today but this video brought tears seeing the true joy of acceptance. Love other humans.... love is love, it doesn't affect you, be kind to the strangers you meet
I really loved the grandma. She was so accepting and was very respectful in her questions to them. I wish more people were like her.
South Korea has not bothered to legalise gay marriage or adoption. This is very disappointing.
they tried to but to many people voted against it :/
They’re still very conservative. Changes don’t happen overnight. It takes time, Koreans are becoming more accepting, you have to give it time. While it’s disappointing right now, things can change.
Not only that but SK seriously needs to reform its justice system. It's ridiculous that child torturers and murders only get 5 years in jail... and sexual assault or bullying perpetrators aren't even punished a large % of the time
I mean, it's still better than countries like Indonesia and Malaysia like atleast in south korea u can see that people are slowly accepting lgbtq
@@jayjay8782 a fellow Malaysian here. Just wanna clarify that Malaysia IS a Muslim majority country despite being a cultural melting pot so that's why it's probably never gonna get legalised here. But generally most of the LGBTQ people here are non-muslims from what I've seen which to me I'm okay with (I have a few Chinese Malaysian friends who are lesbians and they're awesome) but if a Muslim is part of the LGBTQ community then it's a big no-no because it goes against our religion, so yeah it's not so much about us being conservative, it's about religion issues. But technically us being conservative also has to do with our religion as well.
The thumbnail tho..💀the editors knew exactly what they were doing
LMAOO. i saw that too😩
Wasnt it an obvious thumbnail
It must be really hard to find that expression from Grandma cause she was mostly making smiley and curious faces😂
This is proof that homophobia stems from sheer ignorance and the grandma found out eventually that love is love no matter the gender involved. Bless these men and I hope their love will overcome all obstacles.
I fell OUTTA my seat at the end when Grandma asked so casually, "So, which one of you is the 'Woman'?" 🤣🤣🤣
I feel like Grandma Ok is the grandma all us queers wished we had
@KM Márquez What a wonderful woman!
@KM Márquez hahaha, el poder de la chancla! 😆
Glad you had her around you growing up

I’m not in the lgbtq community but my parents are against it and mock them and it makes me uncomfortable ☹️
@@agoofygoober7649 Even doing little baby steps can help, maybe they'll change someday.
I love Cheolsoo and Jangho. You can see the Grandma’s accepting words about love being universal really meant a lot to them. What a lovely woman, her family are lucky to have her!
I liked that her first meeting was with "normal" gay men (not makeup gurus or flamboyants [not that there's anything wrong with either of those]). Not every gay person screams "gay" from a mile away. And, these two gentlemen made for an "easier" introduction, leaving out the shock factor that might cause pushback.
That grandmother is so sweet! Not wanting to be ignorant is a big step for someone at her age and I respect her 100%
“i hosted a small gathering for all those from the community that weren’t visiting their families on thanksgiving” oh my god i cant- *cries in lesbian
Wow. I wish my dad showed me this much love this beautiful grandma showed. Loved this video.
hope you will eventually feel loved :))
Wishing you the world!
One day you’ll find peace I promise
grandma ok... what a beautiful example of what elders should aspire to be! also, i respect the bravery of the couple. it can't be easy to broadcast your sexuality like that in korea. i just have so much respect for all of them 💕
Spectacular! Grandma was humble, wise, engaged, honest and loving, and the guys reciprocated in kind. It's encouraging and invigorating to see presentations like this. Thank you to all!
